Abstract

Purpose: This study examined workplace health and safety, social support, and turnover intention among faculty members in private higher education institutions in Region XII. This study aimed to assess these factors and their influence on faculty retention. Research Methodology: A descriptive quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire that was validated and pilot-tested for reliability. The study involved 324 full-time faculty members from 20 private higher education institutions who were selected through stratified random sampling. Results: The findings revealed that workplace health and safety practices, social support, and turnover intention play significant roles in faculty retention. Specifically, institutions have high workplace health and safety levels and social support. However, turnover intention was reported to be low across the sample. Social support, particularly belonging support, was rated the highest, whereas turnover intention across various factors remained low. Limitations: This study was limited to private higher education institutions in Region XII, and the results may not be generalizable to other regions or types of educational institutions. Additionally, self-reporting could have introduced bias. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of faculty retention in private higher education institutions, highlighting key factors such as health, safety, and social support. Novelty: This research adds novel insights by focusing on the contextualized factors influencing faculty retention in Region XII, an area underrepresented in the existing literature.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness and extent of adaptation strategies of upland and lowland local rice farmers in the municipality of Surallah, in the province of South Cotabato, in response to the impacts of climate change. Methodology/approach: This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to evaluate the awareness levels, extent of adaptation strategies, and interrelationships among these variables within upland and lowland local rice farming communities in Surallah, South Cotabato province. Results/Findings: The research findings highlight the significant differences in awareness levels and adaptation strategies between upland and lowland rice farmers. Upland farmers exhibited lower awareness and sporadic adaptation measures, while their lowland counterparts demonstrated a moderately aware status with a corresponding, albeit moderate, application of adaptive strategies. The study also revealed a meaningful positive relationship between awareness levels and adaptation strategies across both groups. Limitations: The study focused only on the municipality of Surallah in the Province of South Cotabato, concentrating on upland and lowland farmers. Contribution: The findings of this study reveal how farmers in different geographical settings respond to the challenges presented by climate change and reveal potential connections between awareness and adaptation strategies, which will become the basis for policy recommendations. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on upland and lowland rice farmers in Surallah, South Cotabato, providing a comprehensive examination of awareness and adaptation strategies towards climate change.
